'Let me just say thanks and leave,' she thought, 'Who knows, maybe it is fate. Maybe the Goddess, Lumina, sent her to me to assist me with summoning the Silver Ocean.'
She held her pink cotton candy, which was wrapped tightly in a plastic bag.
"Thank you," she told the woman, who nodded enthusiastically, her face beaming with happiness for a reason Astoria did not know, "Well, we'll take our leave now. Take care."
With that, the werewolf lady watched as Astoria turned her back and walked away from her. They walked to an empty bench and sat down, placing their sweet snacks on the table.
"Don't you ladies think we bought too much candy?" Astoria asked them, staring at the candy-filled table.
"Nonsense," Ai replied, dismissively waving her hand, "You can never have too much candy."
"Uh-huh," Astoria said, not sounding convinced by Ai's remark.
